The Ten Coldest Temps in Montana History

Yeah, it's been pretty cold in Montana this week. Some highs approaching the single digits, some lows are coming into the negative numbers. But be grateful you weren't here in 1954 (unless you were, in which case, I salute you). That's the year Montana hit a brisk -70 degrees. No, I'm not making that up, and my finger didn't slip and accidentally type a zero. Negative Seventy. That's not only the coldest Montana has ever been, it's the coldest temperature ever recorded in the lower 48 states. So yeah, pretty cold.
